The Douglas and Judith Krupp Library extends sincere thanks to
the Ernest E. Stempel Foundation, which offered generous funding
in support of the library.
In addition to the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift, Diana
and Lars Bergquist P'13 recently made a significant personal gift to the library.
Both gifts allowed us to expand access to
electronic and print resources for the Bryant
University community, helping fund the acquisition of the ARTstor, JSTOR Arts & Sciences IV
and V, and JSTOR Biological Sciences databases.
ARTstor is a digital library that contains over
one million images in the areas of art, architecture, the humanities, and the social sciences. It features a set of
tools for viewing, presenting, and managing images.
The JSTOR Arts & Sciences IV collection focuses on business, education, and law journals, as well as titles in psychology, public policy, and administration.
JSTOR Arts & Sciences V includes literary reviews, state historical
journals, and arts and humanities journals in areas such as philosophy, history, classics, religion, art and art history, and language
and literature.
The Ernest E. Stempel Foundation was founded by Ernest E.
Stempel P'84, '98H (1916-2009), former director of the American International Group, Inc. (AIG). Diana Bergquist P'13 is the daughter
of Ernest E. Stempel and is a Stempel Foundation board member.

Catch “The Beat of Bryant” on HD Radio
Bryant University’s student-run WJMF
radio station recently announced a new
partnership with Boston-based public
broadcaster WGBH. This partnership will
allow WJMF to boost its signal from 225
to 1,200 watts, increasing its coverage
area to include portions of Massachusetts
and southern Rhode Island. WGBH will
also provide internship opportunities to
Bryant students.
As part of the WGBH partnership,
WJMF will no longer broadcast on the
88.7 FM analog frequency. Instead, it will
broadcast in HD (“hybrid digital”), a new
format that is gaining popularity.

The new-and-improved WJMF officially
launched on September 26th, broadcasting as 88.7 FM HD-2 radio. Want to tune
in and catch The Beat of Bryant? Stop by
the library for an HD radio! We now have
six Insignia HD radios available to the
Bryant community — check one out for a
week (with an optional renewal of one additional week) and tune in to WJMF.

Check out an iPad 2!
Krupp Library currently owns 10 Apple iPad 2s. These new iPads are available to Bryant
students, faculty, and staff. Each iPad is pre-loaded with a variety of cool apps, including the
Elements app, BBC News app, Kindle app, Lonely Planet City Guides apps, and much more!
The iPads have a 1-week loan period with an optional 1-week renewal. We lend the iPads
on a first come, first serve basis — if you’d like to be added to our informal wait list, please
ask at the Circulation Desk! Visit us to learn more and check out an iPad.

The iPad 2 is now
@ your library.
